Dr. Jekyll performs strange experiments on the psyche and human personality; he tests his potions on himself with the result of becoming a madman with a double personality, who, when he takes the appearance of Mr. Hyde, goes around the city killing young women. His maid, however, notices everything. This latest adaptation of Stevenson's novel, directed by the talented Stephen Fears and starring Hollywood stars such as John Malkovich (in the dual role of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde) and Julia Roberts (in the role of the maid), turns out to be rather slow and predictable in the development of events, becoming soporific and lacking in suspense. Excellent, however, the screenplay and the sets.
